The story of the hardcore punk band
Galera ("jail" in Italian) from
Rome Caput Mundi is very tormented: born in
2012, they started their career with big enthusiasm and they had also the honour to support bands of the calibre of
Napalm Death,
Cripple Bastards,
Anaal Nathrakh and
Brujeria. But, throughout their parable, they released only 2 EPs before 2020: "
Roma Isterica" in
2012 and "
Sanguine" in
2015. After some years of total silence, Galera came back live in
2019 in a gig where I was
present and so, took by a new energy to destroy the stages, they supported nothing else than
Sick of It All. But after other time, the silence failed
again on the band. Fortunately, Galera recovered their activities in
2020. In fact, they were reborn like a
phoenix since they are now a
one-man band directed by their guitarist
Roberto, that recorded
alone everything for their new EP "
Fai finta che mi ami", initially self-released on CD in
June 2020 and then edited on tape in September by the
Italian labels
Fresh Outbreak Records and
Sedation Records. Do you know what I say? Fuck, Roberto did
very well to roll up his sleeves because projects like Galera
deserve to continue to annihilate ears, and soon I'll explain why!
